Doyle disliked playing in the oulfield

Sneed. II he could only realize to
what extent 1t strengthens the Browns
to have Ksppell on third and himself
in center he would readily SEE the
benefit the team derives from this
change. Doyle is a good consc eutous
worker and 1t is hoped he will always
lend his best Efforts in the future las
he hos in the past) for the advance
ment OF the club in his new posi-
ton. Manager Sneed saws Doyle
was not taken eff third
for inferior work, but simply
owing to Doyle's being q good out
fislder, and Kappell not being able to
play the ouifeld. Another reason is,
there ia no better baseman in the
country than Ksppell, and IS Black
will hereafter pitch in his turn it is
hardly right to plsy him in the out
ffald when the club has other men
who are capable. As soon, as Nc
Aleer ia up he will resume his place
in left field, and Doyle will be placed
regularly in center.

cd Instructions of the physician to the
nurse and the suppressed sobs of the

The Growth of the Quilt.

The ladies' sewing society quilt in
eighteen hundred began to be built;
and they said they thought the quilt
would be done sometime in eighteen
hundred and one; and then they said it
would surely be throug Oh in the spring of
the year eighteen hundred and two.
But the years passed on and the boys
grew men and girls grew women in
eighteen ten, but their immemorial
crazy quilt just had part of one corner
built For the years grow old and men
decay, but crazy quilt lives forever
and aye!
All woe! sad woe, to the neckties OF
rlen that were stolen by night for the
crazy quilt then; for the gudewives came
down like wolf on the fold and stole
adj the neckties their dear arms could
hold and the ribbons that tied the lit
tie girls hair and the big boys sus-
penders his father couldn't wear. and
dear grandmother's dress that her
grandmother built and Aunt Nancy's
'kerchief went into the quilt; and in
eighteen hundred and thirty two the
quilt they said was quarter through.
But men grew old and children gray
as the years crept on from day to day,
and aunts and grandmothers passed
away. but the quilt lived on forever.
And husbands and fathers shook their
heads and sighed, ALAS! we shall soon
be dead. our lives will be finished
SOON" they said. "but the quilt will be
finished never!" And son and grand
son passed away. were born and grew
and had their day; then. dust to dust
and clay to clay were placed in their
tombs forever. But the quilt grew on
from year to year, little there and
little here, 1t grows but will never be
finished, fear; it will never be finish

Humor in Literature.

The most nearly immortal character
of literature Is Falsta6, and Falstat is
humorous character The most long
lived of all writing is humorous writ
ing. Great libraries are filed with the
dead bodies of many books that were
once famous-books that were written
by statesmen and powerful bishops.
They lie, only disturbed by the curious,
untouched by any "Old Mortality"
who write names anew on the scroll Of
human thought. What little old vol
ume Is that over which that gray-hair-
ed sage is laughingP' 1t is humor-
Gus story written hundreds of years
ago.
What is it that keeps the "Vicar of
Wakefield SO freshP Not its quiet,
pastoral atmosphere, nor its plot, nor
its description, but its humor. Why
do we stroll with bombastic old MicaU-
Der? Not because he is unfortunate,
but because he makes his misfortunes
humorous. Humor is the most natural
of all literary qualities. In life fifty
smiles ring out while one tear is fall
Ing. Monday we smile at our tears of
Saturday. The greatest of all phil
osophy-resignation, is itself quiet
smile.
The American newspaper is the best
in the world, not because it contains
accounts of more murders and disasters
than any other journal, but because
it brings more good cheer into the
family. do not say this in defense of
the American humorist, but as state
ment of fact. The newspaper humorist
and where is the journalist who has
not tried his paw in this directionP-
perhaps needs defense. He writes q
great deal of that which is politely
known us "rot," but so do all writer's.
The humorists efforts may not please
the gentleman" who sips his coffee at
morning with tremulous blubber, who
the night before told old jokes over new
whisky, but they may create laugh
at the farmers breakfast table.
Addison thought that nearly all
writers had at some time aspired TO be
humorists, and / do not know but that
such an aspiration is just as praise
worthy as the aspiration which nearly
every writer has-that of trying TO
please
Humor should be just as refined as
pathos. The newspaper that prints an
obscene joke should not be admitted
into respectable family. 1t is better
to be dull than vulgar. Premeditated
humor, like premeditated poetry. is
generally OF poor quality. Incidental
pleasantly, having the average of I'M
expectedness, breathes the most enjoy
able humor. II is of course impossible G
to "grrnd OUT so many yards of humor
per week; and the wonder is that our
comic publications arc 10 worse than
they are. Opde p. Read, IN The Jour

Hard Times for Embryo State s.

Now the embryo statesman begins
20 study up statistics on the, labor
question. He reads the capitalist econ
omist aud comes to the conclusion that
the workingman is getting three times
the wages he did 80 years ago, that
food and clothing is twice as cheap.
that the hours of labor are twice as
short, and that the laboring men are
actually living on the fat of the land in
Garden Of Eden paradise of luxu-
robustness, and lolling on flower beds
and on rose bowers of leisure and idle
ness. He next turns TO the labor
economist and is surprised to see DEM
onstrated by the most conclusive sta
tistics that wages have gone way down
into the bowels Of the earth, and that
prices have shot way up into the clear
blue empyrean of the armament. and
the workingman is obliged to support
